[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a resident and support whatever they want to do that is cheaper than the insane cost it would require to sterilize enough does to reduce the population.

Feeding them so they don’t devour landscaping and natural vegetation is far cheaper than killing them. And it’s more humane. [/quote]

How big is Arlington's budget?[/quote]

It's certainly big enough to allow for not slaughtering innocent wildlife. [/quote]

An unchecked deer population is a menace to native plants and trees. 
It’s a danger to drivers when they wander in the road. 
Deer are not innocent and in need of protection. They are like pigeons or raccoons -only larger. My neighbor has lost use of her small yard for her kids because 4-6 deer have decided it’s theirs to hang out every afternoon and they aren’t scared of people. [/quote]

How have they “lost the use of their yard”? That’s a bit dramatic, isn’t it? They’re still able to go outside. Deer aren’t predators. The children are in no danger at all. Deer couldn’t harm children even if they wanted to. [/quote]
